What you can expect

Vetted both ways
Crew are vetted on how they work: ID confirmed, references asked whether they'd hire them again, and a review from the captain after every job. Crew declare their certificates; you check the originals. Yachts are approved by our network team after a reference call.
Free on your dates, booked direct
Results show who is free for all or part of your dates and when each person last confirmed. You agree the booking with the crew member, with no commission on crew pay.
Free for crew. Yachts choose a plan.
The fee is a share of the work booked, charged only when a booking is confirmed.
